EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On May 5, 2015, the
County Board authorized the issuance of a Request for Proposals for the
acquisition of a new voting system (Resolution No. 2015-144). The Request for
Proposals was released on May 5, 2015. The County Elections Manager formed a
Ramsey County Voting System task force open to all municipalities. The task
force included County elections staff and the elections officials from
Maplewood, White Bear Lake, Shoreview and St Anthony. Three proposals were
received in response from the Request for Proposals. The task force reviewed the
three proposals from vendors with voting systems certified for use by the
Minnesota Secretary of State and recommended the selection of the Verity voting
system from Hart InterCivic of Austin, TX. Implementation of the new voting
system will occur over the next year. The County anticipates its initial use
will be for the State Primary to be held on August 9, 2016. The evaluation team
also prepared a new joint powers agreement to govern the financing and annual
operations of the new voting system. The new joint powers agreement will be
submitted to the County Board as a separate action. Agreement with Hart
